Ask the kiddo to check at the general office for financial assistance, study hard and earn those bursary awards.
There's ST pocket money fund or something like that, tap into it.
Where's Comcare and the what nots? Most important, has he seen his MP?

Hopefully soon, they will realize that only the first and last word were changed to form a new word.

I believe his kid is on those bursary scheme.....not a lot, but it does help.

At the very least, his family still can make it, albeit sometimes finance is a little tight, unlike in another post, struggling family, just gave birth to another 2 baby, running out of milk powder.... Hubby daily rated worker, that's even worse......frankly, it's bloody irresponsible....

Your friend may have been earning more when he had his kid, but frankly, with 3 figure amount in the bank with a non working wife and a secondary school kid, he is also cutting it very close. :(

Hi jw, yes he is.
As it is, he is finding out information on Uber driving to supplement his income since OT is limited or basically non existent now.
He told me over the weekend he will be starting to drive Uber before end of the month or earlier.

Have advised to him, when he starting taking on Uber, he should start saving immediately from this supplemental income.
He is in agreement with it...........

I dun understand this about part time Uber driving.
You either drive full time or you dun....because the car rental is 24/7 so letting the car sit idle is losing money....
Part time cab driving I can understand the logic since the rental is shared
